Qi Yuan wasn't particularly happy about the praise. Instead, he reminded the other person, "If you really think I'm your benefactor and that you think I'm good, then don't cause me any trouble. If you can do that, I'll thank you."

Ao smiled but didn't reply.

Qi Yuan didn't remind the other party again.

After meeting and talking with Ao three times, Qi Yuan still didn't have a good feeling about him.

This problem is not due to any other reason.

Although Ao seems carefree, he is actually quite shrewd.

The police in Juecheng are looking for him, but he's just wandering around the city like nothing's wrong, not worried at all about what will happen if he gets caught.

Such audacity suggests that the other party has powerful backers. Their strength may not be as great as the four major families, but it is at least greater than that of the police.

Therefore, when the other party said yesterday that he only had four people under him, it was obviously a lie.

Perhaps the other party truly has the potential to become the new king of the Northern Continent, as they claim.

Qi Yuan was a little confused about what Ao wanted to do, but at least for now the other party had not shown any hostility, so there was no need for him to rush into a falling out.

Finally, they brought Casio to the hospital. Qi Yuan paid for Casio's registration and then led him to the doctor.

The doctor was about to give Casio a physical examination and take his temperature, but Casio blocked his hand as soon as it got close. "It's nothing serious, just a cold and fever. Just give me some cold and fever medicine."

Due to a high fever, Casio's voice was heavily hoarse, a stark contrast to his original voice, making him sound like a completely different person.

The doctor was displeased with Casio's words, saying, "Are you the doctor or am I? How am I supposed to know if you have any other complications without examining you?"

“I am a doctor, I know my own physical condition.” Casio said firmly, listing the names and dosages of several medications.

The doctor initially wanted to maintain his dignity, but when he heard Casio accurately pronounce the full name of the drug and checked the dosage, it was also standard.

He looked at Qi Yuan and the others standing behind him, his gaze finally settling on Asha.

Asa wore the Davis family crest on his chest, making it immediately clear that he was a bodyguard for the Davis family.

With the Davis family's bodyguards present, and looking at Qi Yuan's appearance, the doctor could roughly guess Qi Yuan's identity without needing to say more.

Although Qi Yuan is not considered mysterious in Juecheng, there are still many people in Juecheng who have never seen his true appearance. However, many people say that he is the most handsome Dongzhou person in Juecheng. Even if you have never seen him before, you can recognize him the first time you see him.

The doctor hadn't believed his colleagues before, but now that he'd finally met Qi Yuan, he recognized him immediately.

Considering the Davis family's recent rise to prominence, the doctor dared not offend Qi Yuan and prescribed the medicine as instructed by Casio.

"Take this form to the pharmacist to get your medication," the doctor said.

Ao reached out to take it.

"Boss Qi, I'll go get the medicine."

"Ah."

Qi Yuan and Casio waited on the lobby bench.

Qi Yuan turned his head to look at Casio.

Casio kept his head down, using his bangs to cover his eyes, only revealing his face below his nose. Qi Yuan didn't think much of this, as he was always hiding his appearance, and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Casio shifted slightly, responding somewhat to Qi Yuan's words, and replied, "I don't know."

Is he the Ogan you know?

"Yes."

"Since they are acquaintances, why not acknowledge them as family?"

Casio pursed his lips, a small gesture of resistance to being told. Qi Yuan noticed it and said, "If you don't want to go with them, you can tell me."

"Boss, thank you."

"No need to thank me. I really hope you can continue working in my restaurant. Your knowledge of drugs is so advanced that you can tell what kind of drug it is just by smelling it. With you in the kitchen, I don't have to worry about anyone poisoning my ingredients. However, if you want to leave, I won't stop you. Everyone is an individual and has the right to choose what they want to do."

After Qi Yuan finished speaking, Casio remained silent.

The two sat quietly for a while, and then Ao returned with the medicine.

He handed a bill to Qi Yuan, saying, "Mr. Qi, this is the money for the medicine. Please pay it."

Qi Yuan took the prescription without saying anything, got up and went to the counter to pay.

When I returned after paying, Casio and Ao were nowhere to be seen. The bench where Casio had been sitting was now empty.

Asa looked at the empty bench and asked, "Mr. Qiyuan, shall we order the hunting dogs to go look for it?"

"No need, they know each other. Ao shouldn't do anything to Casio. Besides, judging from Casio's attitude... he didn't ask me for help."

When Ao went to get the medicine, Casio had enough time to ask Qi Yuan for help, and Qi Yuan even took the initiative to expose the fact that he and Ao knew each other.

Despite being so blunt, Casio didn't ask him for help. Whatever grudges they had, it was none of his business as an outsider.

Although Qi Yuan felt a little regretful about Casio's departure, it was just a little regretful.

Many people come into this world, and many people leave; Qi Yuan has seen through this.

Back at the restaurant, the busy day continued.

At 8 p.m., Noah came to the restaurant to pick him up and take him home.

On the bus, Qi Yuan told Noah about Casio and Ao. Noah's expression turned somewhat grim when he heard that Casio had been taken away.

He held Qi Yuan in his arms and said, "Baby, there's something I haven't told you yet because it's too gory and I'm afraid it will scare you."

"what's up?"

A faint scent of cologne wafted from Noah, a light and pleasant fragrance that filled Qi Yuan's nostrils. The familiar scent inexplicably brought him a sense of peace.

“You told me before that Casio knew an Ogan, so I sent people to investigate whether any members of [Raven] had ever been Ogans. We didn’t find any Ogans among the members, but we did find one among the victims.”

Qi Yuan stiffened and looked at Noah with some surprise.

Noah said, "【The Raven】is a cruel and perverted organization. They would remove all the internal organs from the people they killed, then sew the bodies back together and soak them in formalin. According to police records, among these victims was a male Ogan of about twenty years old. Based on his age and considering the age of Casio and the others, I speculate that the deceased Ogan might be the brother of the Ogan that Casio knew."

Qi Yuan remained silent, his mind racing through Casio's attitude toward Ao and Ao's attitude toward Casio. For a moment, he was unsure whether he should intervene in their affair.

Noah continued, “Cassio’s father is Eugene Mack, the leader of the Ravens. The death of that Ogan must be related to him. Therefore, I deduce that Cassio and that Ogan must be enemies.”
